Which Jeep Gladiator Supercharger?

[StevieY1]

Hey guys got the reply from ProCharger and it was quite interesting..."HPTuners announced a few weeks ago that they now have GPEC5 support for these vehicles, so yes once we get one in here and do some testing, we will have full systems for 24 Gladiator ready to go."

Naturally, my reply was positive but with a question..."It seems that haven't done one yet?"

It sounds like they haven't done one with the GPEC5, but the encryption is the only thing that's different. Their tuning and testing on JLs and JTs with the 3.6L is already done. None of that needs to change. They want to get one in just to make sure that tuning it, uploading files, etc works but the actual tune doesn't need to change.

Got a quick reply back from Aiden at ProCharger and he said - "we just got one in house to do testing on, once its's complete we will have a system for these available. With HPTuners only having the GPEC5's unlocked for about a month, we've had to wait on a vehicle to show up"

Seems like a good and prompt reply to me y'all! WooHoo its happenin!! I even asked if I could have a gifted unit for promoting on the forum and would be the 1st Canadian Gladiator, haha, I'll keep you posted. (insert glass half full optimistic emoticon here)

Aidan got back to me to say that he'll send me an email once the testing is done to update progess on the tune!

Hey, by the way guys! If you scroll through the pictures of the Pope on CNN, you will see the Pope riding in a white Jeep Gladiator about 25 photos down from the top. I KID YOU NOT! It's not the typical Mercedes - its a Gladdy! Pls someone with the technical skills upload the photo to the site!

You can see the white roll bars and for sure its a Gladdy! My goodness - upon a second look just now it looks like a Rubicon with white front bumper! It was in East Timor so they dressed up a Gladdy for the Popemobile!

Its actually 87 pictures down from the top for the record...

I emailed Magnacharger yesterday and got a response this morning.
They acknowledge that HP tuners have opened the GPEC5 to tuning. Their engineering department is about to hop on the new kit development. They also mentioned that getting the thing CARB certified was the part of the process that takes the most time.

In the Army, we called this: Hurry up and wait...

oh I'll be awaitin!

FYI, I will have a used magnusson fs very soon as soon as I get my truck back from AMW if any of yall are interested. I can also provide the tune Dave did for me.

When there are some with 25K on them I might give them a call.
Going from 4.10s to 4.88s with 37s added some get and go torque but no HP. It dies at 55mph+ and 6th + gear. But jumps off the line nicely .

HP tuners is now offering GPEC5 unlocking/tuning service so superchargers for newer Jeeps shouldn't be far off.

This is the way, at least until someone finds a way to make a 4bt swap

I think there’s a shop in Florida that’s done 4bt swaps. Could just be for the JK though. I wouldn’t do it though. Those are notorious for balancing issues.

And low horsepower output. For a dedicated crawler/trail rig they are great. If you plan to drive the Jeep on the freeway, roadtrip, etc it's just not the best choice. Tuned high enough with enough boost it could be made to work, but pushing that far would likely kill the reliability.

I have a Maggie it works good and haven't had issues. luckily dave was still around when i did mine and he assisted with custom tuning. I did have camshaft failure but i do not think that was caused by the supercharger and just got hit like everyone else.

I'm sure Dave really appreciates that.

Rumor is CARB support for 22+ (probably GPEC5 related), which supposedly includes 2021, by..."later this year".
